Wheel Engine
Its not a new concept, some companies are already doing it, from scooters to busses. My point is to replace a normal car wheel with an adapted wheel that has an integrated dynamo/engine. There are several ways to do this.
How to create an in-wheel drive system
The most easy way is to somehow integrate the dynamo/drive system with the braking system. By using the brake plates (possibly with an adapted eddge that caches into the electric drive axle).
Another way would be to create a wheel that contains a brushless engine, creating a second baring between the axle/break and the wheel surface.
Another way would be to hook up to the main drive axle, making it an option to -is the clutch is down- select electronic drive. This way however there is no reuse of kinetic energy from the wheels, and there is more mass to be moved.
The drive system doesn't need to be strong, it is meant to move the car at a maximum speed of 5-30 km/hr at most. This is sufficient for city traffic.
Where to get the energy
Energy could be stored and released form the common battery, however this doesn;t charge that fast. A second option could be a large capacitor, which would be better capable of absorbing the energy quickly.
